POKÉMON THE MOVIE: EVERYONE’S STORY Info and High-Res Images From Toho

A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE

Toho has provided press notes and a gallery of high-res images from the 21st feature-length Pokémon anime, POKÉMON THE MOVIE: EVERYONE’S STORY (劇場版ポケットモンスター みんなの物語, Gekijoo-ban Poketto Monsutaa Kimi ni Kimeta!), opening in theaters across Japan on July 13th.

INTRODUCTION

One year from the success of the 20th feature film, POKÉMON THE MOVIE: I CHOOSE YOU! (劇場版ポケットモンスター キミにきめた！, Gekijoo-ban Poketto Monsutaa Kimi ni Kimeta!, 2017), a young, talented production team presents a completely new Pokémon story. This summer, let‘s all step towards an adventure never seen before!

The “Wind Festival” is held annually in Fura City, a place where the locals live with the wind. The legendary Pokémon Lugia is expected to appear on the final day of the festival, and the attendees hope to receive its blessing from the past.

While participating in the Wind Festival, Satoshi and Pikachu by chance meet five people…

The high school girl, Lisa, who is a Pokémon novice.
Kagachi, a loudmouth who can’t stop lying.
A timid researcher, Torito, lacking confidence in himself.
Hisui, an oddball grandmother who is prejudiced against Pokémon.
Largo, a mysterious girl living alone in the forest.

Each one has their own troubles and has been unable to move forward with their partner Pokémon. But, through their encounters with each other, Satoshi and Pikachu, the Gears of Destiny begin to move.

Will the pact with Lugia be protected? And what is the identity of the phantom Pokémon Zeraora?

Now, the bond between everyone — people and Pokémon — will create miracles.
